[Update] Jaws of Hakkon, the First Dragon Age: Inquisition DLC Has Been Announced

The first DLC for Dragon Age: Inquisition has finally been named. Jaws of Hakkon will be the name of the first of several single player DLC content updates for BioWare’s very well received Dragon Age: Inquisition.

The official Dragon Age: Inquisition Twitter account spilled the beans on the name of the first DLC, Jaws of Hakkon. The trailer for such will be released tomorrow, March 24th 2015.

Jaws of Hakkon will be released on the Xbox One and the PC first, other than that there are no details to be had. The official trailer will be released tomorrow and we’ll definitely be covering that as soon as it becomes available.

As we’ve already covered, there was already some indication that a story based DLC will be made available soon. BioWare has also been very tight lipped as to their DLC progression and as to what their plans were. Hopefully their plan to keep things silent until now will help to stave off the hype train that can sometimes ruin an otherwise great game when it overshoots the actual potential. We’re crossing our fingers that Jaws of Hakkon doesn’t end up with the same fate as so many others before it.

In the meantime, why not go revisit Thedas and prepare your character for the no doubt awesome content that’s about to be incoming. The selling point of the Dragon Age games has always been the strong story-line and the very deep character development, and this DLC is anticipated to continue that trend towards character driven gameplay.
